Chapter 176: The Black Skull (2/2)
Yuan Zhan's body sinks under the water and disappears when it touched the soil.
He doesn't know how long he has been swimming in the water. When the effectiveness of the gold needle sealing hole was reached, when Yan Mo could naturally breathe in the water, and the bones brought him out of the water.
Once out of the water, the body lost its buoyancy weight, and Yan Mo opened his eyes slightly. He had not yet thought about how to deal with the current situation, and he was thrown to the shore by the bones.
“Boom!”
Yan Mo waited on the ground for a while, he didn't feel the bones coming ashore, and there was no other movement around, he slowly propped up the upper body.
It is as dark as in the water, there is no light source at all, he can hear the sound of the water and after patting the shore, he found there was nothing but silence.
He sat, slowly pulled out a torch and a fire from the pocket, carefully blow the fire to the front of the torch, he was originally worried that the oxygen is thin, but after seeing the speed of the fire burning, he thought the oxygen should be enough, he has no difficulty breathing, and there is a weird smell coming from the water here.
The torch ignited smoothly, and Yan Mo took the fire and waited for his eyes to adjust to the light from the torch, then lifted the torch to look ahead.
A pair of black holes were staring at him!
Heavens! Yan Mo hands shook and he almost threw the torch out.
Of course, he is not afraid of it but this kind violent shock is that frightening that even bold people will be scared.
Just opposite the place where he was sitting, there was something leaning against the wall.
This is the remains of a strange creature with an upper body that resembles a human being and a lower body with only one extended vertebra.
That may not be the spine. Yan Mo touched the bone that extends to the foot of his foot. Is this more like the tailbone of a certain dinosaur?
Was it just this kind of thing that just grabbed him in the water?
“This is the bone?” Yan Mo asked The Fruit of Witchcraft.
“Inside...”
“Still inside?” Yan Mo turned the torch and looked around.
He was mentally prepared this time, when I saw the same three skeletons, he was only careful and not scared as he was before.
The skeletons did not move. He also tried to wave the torches at them. After confirming that the opponent would not attack him, Yan Mo stood up. He saw a narrow road between the four bones. It was very deep, the fire does not shine in.
The ground was very slippery, and there is a layer of moss on the surface of the rock wall but Yan Mo did not see any color. This moss seems to secrete a mucus, and Yan Mo is anxious to see the bone inside. There is no special angel where he can see t some of the moss, but it is rough to conclude that the oxygen here is likely to be related to these mosses.
The narrow road was also covered with the moss. Yan Mo took a step and walked, and he lowered his head.
The moss on the ground was also very thick, but the vagueness in patches can still be seen that some places the mosses were slightly thinner than others. If you connect these slightly thin places, it is like there was something that was dragged generally passed here.
Is there any danger ahead?
If Yuan Zhan was here it would be just fine, he can walk underground, and there are dangers that can be detected beforehand.
The narrow road is not long. After walking about 20 meters, he came to a vast space.
How big is this space, Yan Mo can't shine the walls with the torch, so he only subconsciously felt that this space is quite large.
“In front...”
Yan Mo took a careful step.
The ground is very strong and not loose, but it’s just as slippery, and the surroundings were quiet, there is nothing to attack him.
But darkness itself is a threat.
Only ten steps away, Yan Mo has already sweated buckets.
In such a quiet place, he can even hear his own heartbeat clearly.
“Crack.” Yan Mo stepped on something.
In the empty and quiet space, this sound is very obvious. He didn’t know if it’s sweat or the water from before, rolling from Yan Mo’s forehead.
Looking down at his foot, he saw a gray bone was trampled by him, and only one end was still intact.
Not a human bone. This is Yan Mo's first judgment.
This animal is huge.
He reached out and touched it, look at the color, the time when the bones were placed here varies for at least a hundred years.
After making these three judgments, Yan Mo kicked the cut bone and bent over to look around the ground with a torch.
Fortunately, he had more experienced eyes, starting from this truncated bone, the ground is full of scattered bones. Some bones were already covered with moss, and some are already crispy, but they seem to be fresh.
“Where are the bones you said?”
“In front ...”
Yan Mo straightened up and walked using his feet to push aside the bones. He walked nearly two hundred meters away, and his feet touched a step.
Lifting the torch up, there are more than a dozen steps, and there seems to be a table on the top.
If there is an attack, should it be coming right now? Or what is the meaning for this step?
Yan Mo was sullen and did not dare to rush to the steps.
After waiting for a while, no one attacked him. Yan Mo was a cross-hearted man, holding on to the undead spirit, and stepping on the first step.
There is no moss on the steps, and this floor seems to be very smooth? Yan Mo wanted to take off his straw shoes and try it. Finally, he dismissed the idea.
Layer by layer, twelve steps were walked him like one does a 10,000-meter marathon.
He reached to the top, nothing happened.
Yan Mo sighed softly and lifted the torch high.
He saw a weird bone!
Almost no doubt, at the first sight if this bone, Yan Mo knew that it was definitely the bone that The Fruit of Witchcraft spoke about.
The bone was placed right in the center of the table.
It is like a creature's skull, it was a bowl-shaped, almost larger than the skull of an adult man. The color is dark, and it gave off a certain kind of luster under the fire light.
The skull had an oval groove in the center of the skull, and four transparent oval crystal stones were placed right around the skull.
Yan Mo didn't go to get the skull directly, he was looking at the platform that had a skull on it.
It was only when he came to the front that he found that the square table with a length of about two meters and a height of about one meter was built entirely of bones.
The same is true for the twelve steps!
However, these bones were still normal in color and are creamy yellow.
Let's not say how many bones need to be used to make the table. There are four pillars around the top step, which is faintly like the ground floor with bone table stood on the pillars.
Yan Mo couldn't help but wonder about it and he held the torch and looked over.
On each bone column top there was an extremely large bone bird with wings.
Yan Mo was amazed that he didn't see any threads or bundles on the four bone birds. How did these bones stick together?
There are also these twelve steps and four bone columns, as well as the bones of the skull, which are not built with one piece or one bone, but numerous bones were intertwined to form a strange rule construction.
Did he discover some kind of ancient civilization? Those bones were not like new things, and he can't understand their construction techniques.
Finding an ancient civilization in ancient civilization?
Yan Mo felt funny, or did he break into a Temple or an important place of a certain race?
No matter which one, the race that can create this bone culture must be a nation full of wisdom and imagination.
Yan Mo looked around and walked from the narrow exit to the step about two hundred meters. If the table is right in the middle of the space, then the space is at least 400 meters in diameter and the height is not low. He can't see the top on the top of the step.
Is there anything else in this space?
Is there a race that he has not seen before?
Who built this place here? What is the purpose? What is the use of the skull?
Why do the bones of the upper body that felt possibly like humans bring him here?
He has come here, and he can get the skull by looking at his hand. Why hasn't there been anything to attack him yet?
Yan Mo asked these questions to The Fruit of Witchcraft. The Fruit of Witchcraft only answered his two words: ”Bone...”
Yan Mo breathed out again and turned to look at the dark skull on the pedestal.
The Fruit of Witchcraft was still to be raised by him. He is dead, and he can't live. The character of Soul Return Tree will entrap it, even if he dies. If his body rots or disappears, The Fruit of Witchcraft will also disappear with him
Then it will at least not harm him?
Yan Mo considered again and again, went to the pedestal and extended his hand to the skull.
